The Millionaire Real Estate Investor

[Jim Francis]

Anyone read the Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller? I know that he started Keller Williams realty and has a book for real estate agents. Is this one worth reading?

[Dwayne Hirsch]

I am reading it now and I find it to be very good. I am experienced and I still found it to be informative and yes, very motivational. We all need to be continually motivated to do what we do and this book does that. I also like the way he deals with the mindset of the investor, by showing how an investor should be thinking and looking at everything he sees as a potential investment. I havent read many of the others but I think this book is worth it for anyone who doesnt think he knows it all. For some it is a refresher course and reminder of purpose and duty.
The problem have with some others that I have glanced at is that they dont seem to teach enough about the reality on the ground. For those who have dig hard to find deals and work with certain undesirable elements, some of these books are just raw info and not real training. I have met a few people that have read as many as 7 books and not done deals because they didnt get enough info on the grunt work.
One truth in Kellers book is that "your money lives on the other side of your fears", which I find to be true.
